GET_DEPEND_INFO 1ONBLD "Nov 2, 2000"
"NAME"
get_depend_info - get dependency information about a package or a file
"SYNOPSIS"

get_depend_info [-cons] -dbdir dbm_database_pathname
 [-f | -p] [-h] [-root root_pathname]
 [-s] [-pkg SUN_package | filename ...]
"DESCRIPTION"

The get_depend_info command prints dependency information about a package, a file, or a set of files on the standard output.

"OPTIONS"

The following options are supported: -cons Turns on conservative mode, that is, refrains from using /usr/bin/strings. -dbdir Specifies the directory in which the Perl DBM databases generated by make_pkg_db(1ONBLD) are located. -f Outputs file dependencies only. -h Displays help. -p Outputs package dependencies only. -pkg Specifies a particular package on which you want to run the dependency analysis. You must specify this option if you specify either a Sun software package or a third-party software package that conforms with the Sun package format (SUN_package). -root Specifies an alternate root. You must also use the -pkg option if you use this option. -s Outputs symbolic links for files or packages only.

"OPERANDS"

The following operands are supported: dbm_database_pathname Specifies the path name of the directory in which the Perl DBM databases generated by make_pkg_db are located. filename Specifies the name of a file or files on which you want to run the dependency analysis. root_pathname Specifies the path name of an alternate root you want to use. SUN_package Specifies the name of a particular Sun software package (or any third-party software package that conforms with the Sun package format) on which you want to run the dependency analysis. You must use the -pkg option if you specify this operand.

You can specify either a Sun software package or a file name, but not both.

"EXAMPLES"

Example 1: To Get a Dependency Analysis of Two Particular Files

% get_depend_info -dbdir MyDir /usr/bin/ls /usr/bin/man

Example 2: To Get a Dependency Analysis of Files Using a Wild Card

% get_depend_info -dbdir MyDir /usr/sbin/*

Example 3: To Get a Dependency Analysis of a Package in Sun Format

% get_depend_info -dbdir MyDir -pkg NSCPcom
% get_depend_info -dbdir MyDir -pkg SUNWnisu

Example 4: To Display Help

% get_depend_info -h
